Injection site infected

[HotShot99]

Im 27 (5'10, 180 pounds) and have been thinking about trying some stuff out for a while. I thoroughly researched my cycle and have come up with a great training and diet routine. So I decided to stack sustanen (500mg) and deca (250mg) while also throwing in some winny pills (100caps).

Anyways I did my first injection (1cc) of deca 7 days ago in my glute. Right away I could tell the area was a bit swollen but didn't think much of it considering its the first time Ive injected. Since then Ive had some great workouts and though its still swollen, I thought it would subside in a few days. Today the entire right side of my ass is completely red, swollen, and itchy. It's literally double the normal size and rock hard.

I thought I took all the necessary precautions like showering beforehand, applying alcohol to the area, etc. But somewhere I obviously fucked up. Im tripping out at the moment and need to know whats happening. Should I pay a visit to the doctor or will anti-biotics do the trick?

Cheers.

body temp has been normal.

Have you done another shot yet? Same problems?

Sounds more like an allergic reaction to the ester perhaps rather than an infection.

Dude,

I had a similar problem when I mixed water and oil. 7 days IMO is a long time. General rule of thumb, swolen is probably OK, but Red and swolen could definately be an abscess.

If it were me I would be straight to the docs. You dont wanna have to have an infected abscess cut out it can be serious.

PM Swole and NeedtoAAS - they helped me out last time

You can have a sterile abscess. This happens when the injection is not fully absorbed by the body. Basically there could be a small pocket where you injected.

Since you do not seem to have an infection, I recommend massaging the site for 15-20 minutes 2-3 times per day and also apply heat. A heating pad works great.

A heating pad (moist) works wonders.

agree--but if you get a temp above normal--get to a doc asap
